  • OCT imaging is based on intensive digital signal processing techniques and requires, together with advanced optical systems, powerful signal processing platforms with specific architectures and innovative algorithms.
  • OCT uses an optical interferometer, for example having the classical Michelson structure, in combination with a low-coherency optical source to analyse subsurface structures in a sample, usually of biologic nature.
  • TD-OCT Time Domain OCT
  • an interference pattern is obtained by moving linearly the mirror of the reference arm of an interferometer, for example of the Michelson type, so that an interference pattern is obtained when the reference path length matches the optical path due to a reflection in the sample.
  • the axial resolution is determined by the coherence length of the light source and is typically of the order of the micrometre.
  • FD-OCT Fourier-domain Optical Coherence Tomography
  • Reflections at different depth in the sample generate oscillation in the interference spectrum.
  • the frequency of these oscillations is linked to the delay, or to the optical path, of the original reflection, such that an inverse Fourier transform of the interference spectrum provides depth-scan information.
  • Spectral Domain OCT also known as SD-OCT, uses a broadband light source with short temporal coherence (often a superluminescent light emitting diode: SLED), and the depth by measuring the spectral density in the detection arm of the interferometer, using a spectrometer, for example a diffraction grating.
  • SLED superluminescent light emitting diode
  • the spectrogram is often collected by a line photo detector, and the depth resolved structure of the sample can be derived by a Fourier transformation on the spectrogram.
  • Swept-source OCT replaces the broadband source with a frequency-swept optical source.
  • the spectral components of the signal are resolved in time; the detection arm of the interferometer is equipped with a single detector and a high-speed ADC, rather than with a spectrometer, with significant advantages in size, speed, performance, and cost.
  • Swept sources for OCT are, in general, tuneable lasers that are specially designed to allow high-speed scans.
  • Current SS-OCT sources achieve 100 nm wavelength sweep range, with a repetition rate of 100 kHz, and an instantaneous linewidth of 100 pm, or better.
  • a sweep cycle is common denoted as "A-scan", since it provides information on the axial profile in the sample, while the terms "B-scan” and “C-scan” indicate the motion of the light beam with respect to the sample to acquire the optical density in a slice, respectively a volume, of the sample.
  • the axial profile in the sample is obtained by the spectral density of signal detected at the interferometer detection arm, which can be readily obtained by a digital Fourier transform operation on the digitized signal, provided the sampled points are linearly spaced in optical wavenumber k.
  • Most sources are incapable to produce a sweep in which the instantaneous wavenumber k is a linear function of time, and diverse hardware and software solutions have been devised to address this shortcoming. Usually, they involve the generation of a reference signal, denoted as k-clock, which varies together with the optical wavenumber (or equivalently, the optical frequency) of the source.

  • the OCT signals OCT1, OCT2 and the k-clock present quite different spectral features, and, the OCT1, OCT2 signals can be shifted in a desired frequency band by changing the length of the reference arm 53 ( Figure 1); the optical device that generates the k-clock signal (for example, a Mach-Zehnder interferometer) can also be chosen or dimensioned in such a way that the k-clock spectrum is limited to a desired band of frequencies. According to an aspect of the invention, these parameters are chosen such that the spectra of the k-clock signal does not significantly overlap with the spectra of the OCT signal or signals, as illustrated in figure 2.
